History
It is said that the shrine was founded on May 5, 111 CE (Keiko 41), originating from local residents enshrining Okunitama-no-Ookami after the deity descended to this land. As the head shrine of Musashi Province, it enshrines deities from the First through Sixth Shrines, earning it the alternative name 'Rokusho-gu' (Six Shrines). Located near the ruins of the Musashi Provincial Government Office, it was once maintained as a central shrine for provincial governors to perform their rounds of worship.
